Recently picket up this old Thinkpad T30 for 2 bucks at a local flea market. Its a bit scratched up and the battery is more or less dead but everything else is working fine. Its Pentium 4M, 1gb of ram and 40gb hdd might be a bit overkill for win2k but its really amazing. Running Firefox 13 and a webone proxy to deal with ssl issues.

I think it deals with familiarity defining personal aesthetic? You grow up within a space, and the trends of that space become the norm, and within that norm there's a sweet spot that's 'cool'.

Every generation that grows up in a dramatically different aesthetic space thus ends up with completely different aesthetics from one another.
